Sponsor Challenge at HYWWP-Sketch Inspiration

Another awesome sketch from Trisha at Sketch Inspiration for our second week of sketch challenges.  On this layout, I used the kit that Trisha sent except for the cardstock used for the fan punch and the two pearl brads.  I wish you could see the cardstocks in person!!

Have Your Way With Paper Card Challenge

Not only am I on the Design Team at Have Your Way With Paper, but I'm also the moderator for the Card Forum.  Each month I have a card challenge with a different theme or style and love seeing our members' talent creating a card. This card challenge was for our Housewarming Online Scrap Weekend and was Christmas in July themed.  The card I made is an easel style card which is so easy to do!  I wanted a square card so the measurements are 10 X 5 with scoring at 3 inches and 5 inches. 

supplies used were: My Minds Eye cardstock, Cordinations, Just Rite Stamps, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Martha Steward and Stazon ink, computer Word printing. Gold and white cardstock unknown

Sponsor Challenge S.E.I.

S.E.I. was our sponsor for June and July at Have Your Way With Paper and wow!! they were so generous with their paper product.  I was able to choose the line 'Claire' and love the colors and prints and how well they all worked together.  I wish you could see the strands of gold in the plaid print!! 
If you would like to see what the other design team members at Have Your Way With Paper did, please stop by.  Each DT member received a different line and some also used SEI from their own stash to make some of the cutest layouts on the internet!

Products used: SEI, Martha Stewart, Prima, Spellbinders, Wrights Hem Tape, Fiskars, buttons and small flower unknown.

Isn't my little grandson a cutie!!! Oh I love him so...sorry, back to my scrappage..lol
This challenge was given by Erin, one of my fellow design team members.  She wanted texture and I rememberd I had a Fiskars texturing tool.

Another of Erin's challenge was to do a layout without any printed papers!!..

Krissy, one of our owners, had several challenges using ideas from the TV show Glee.  Taking my inspiration from the photo of the Lady Gaga outfits this is what I did.  Kim is married to Joe G. Stop by Have Your Way With Paper and see if you can spot the costume I worked with.

June Sponsor at Have Your Way With Paper-S.E.I.

I was so excited to get my papers that I couldn't wait to do something with them!!..Along with these cool "claire' papers, I received some matching brads. All papers are 'Claire' except the frame under the photo; for that I used Coredinations.

Cards I've been working on....

Just thought I would take the time to post some cards I've been working on. 

The first one I did was done using stamps from this month's sponsor at Have Your Way With Paper. Crafters Creations once again sent us the cutest bear stamps to work with and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  The design of the card was inspired by my sweet friend Betty Bee. 

This is what it looks like folded and will fit into an A2 size envelope

This card was done for a challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot

The idea was to make a 'kid' card so I thought how perfect to use my new digital stamps from Digital Delights.  Check out all the cute stamps Wendy has to offer!!

I needed a get well card for a neighbor friend so this is what I did. 

Cosmo Cricket Layout

Here is a layout I did using our great sponsor product from Cosmo Cricket.  This line is called Material Girl and worked out so well for my photos.

The background cardstock is DCWV and I used my Marth Stewart ribbon punch...I do think that is my favorite punch..!! Love the chipboard pieces that came with this kit!!

March Sponsor Challenge At HYWWP-Digital Lights by Louby Loo

First a big thank you to Wendy for sponsoring us this month at Have Your Way With Paper and for such a cute array of digital stamps.  I decided to do a wall/door hang using 'Larry' the leprechaun the 'pot of gold'. 

(jsut a note, the little flower centers are more green than what they appear)

Supplies used:

Coredinations cardstock

Copic markers

Stickles

Prima flowers

Spellbinders

Fiskars

DCWV

May Arts Sponsor Challenge

January's sponsor at Have Your Way With Paper is May Arts who sent the design team an awesome collection of ribbons.  All ribbons shown on this layout are from them.  Pretty cool, arent' they?

I did another layout, this time with Nina and...I made the flowers using May Art ribbons.

Again, all ribbons are from this great sponsor. 

 

The first thing I thought of when I saw this photo was 'attitude' so, that is what I went with.  I wanted something fun and funky to go with Nina's attitude.  The frame was cut using my Cricut Expressions and Accent Essentials cartridge.

Card Challege at Have Your Way With Paper

Here is a card I made for January's card challenge at Have Your Way With Paper.  As moderator for the Card Forum, I chose to make this challenge 'hearts'.  Your card can be for any occasion, but must show hearts.

My hearts are chipboard sprayed with Glitter Mist.  I used Tim Holtz distressing ink to give my card a vintage look. 

Stop by Have Your Way With Paper and take my January card challenge!!

Another SWARM layout

This was another page done for a challenge at Have Your Way With Paper.  The challenge was to do black/white and a color photo.  What a better time to get my SWARM photos done!...

Have Your Way With Paper Challenges

Finally got back to my layout scrapping by taking part in several challenges at Have Your Way With Paper. 

November sponsor at Have Your Way With Paper

We received some awesome cardstock, buttons and tag spots from Jillibean Soup, our sponsor this month at Have Your Way With Paper.  Here are a few things I made and I have got to tell you, the weight of this cardstock is awesome! 

This is a card I made using the cardstock and tag spot.  The border was done with my new Martha Stewart border punch and the leaves are a die Provo Craft that cuts and embosses.

Here is a layout of Nina using several papers and tag spots.  The flowers were cut with my Cricut and then set on silk flowers. The title stickers are also from Jillibean Soup

Using more cardstock and tag spots received, I did an Ian layout. The stars were cut using our sponsor paper and my star die from Provo Craft.  Those awesome buttons were part of the sponsor kit!

Just Rite Stampers

Just Rite Stampers is our sponsor for October at Have Your Way With Paper and I'm so excited to be showing their cool stamps!..The two sets I received are Christmas Something Sweet and Birthday Wishes. 

This was done for a tag swap I'm in at Paper. I made this using the Christmas border and Birthday center. Normally, I would be popping the layers, but kept it simple for easy envelope mailing..:)

Here is a card I made using both the border and inside stamp from Birthday Wishes.  The yellow paper is from a pack I have, DCWV and the printed paper is ColorBok

  

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

At Have Your Way With Paper, I have a card challenge going on under the forum "Pink For The Girls".

The challenge is to make a card for a friend and on the card put October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Your friend need not be a survior.

Here are two cards I did today using Wendy's 'Maggie', from Digital Delights.  This was a freebie from Friday!! Thank you, Wendy!! All I had to do was size it and cut; she was all colored in!!

Layout Challenge For Have Your Way With Paper

Over at Have Your Way With Paper, one of our challenges was to do a layout using the same photo twice. This was a perfect challenge for me to do a hybrid layout. I love having my wide format printer because it allows me to print right on a 12x12 paper. I'd like to share with you what I did

Memorable Season-September Sponsor Challenge

Here are a couple layouts I did with products received from Memorable Seasons, our September sponsor at Have Your Way With Paper. I had the pleasure of working with My Minds Eye, Abbey Road. Thank you so much Jill for your generosity!!
